Perfect Prime Rib Roast

Introduction

A prime rib roast is the ultimate centerpiece for any special occasion — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. This classic cut of beef, when prepared properly, delivers a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s both impressive and satisfying. With a simple blend of herbs, garlic, and olive oil, you can create a restaurant-quality roast right in your own kitchen. Follow this step-by-step recipe to achieve that perfect golden crust and succulent, medium-rare interior that makes prime rib unforgettable.

Ingredients

• 1 bone-in prime rib roast (about 5–6 lbs)

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp kosher salt

• 1 tbsp black pepper

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp thyme, finely chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prep the Roast:
Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours before cooking. Allowing it to warm up ensures even cooking throughout.

2. Season Generously:
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture thoroughly over the entire roast, making sure it’s evenly coated.

3. Roast:
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Place the roast fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast for 15 minutes at high heat to create a flavorful crust. Then, reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for 1½–2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness:

• 120°F (49°C) for rare

• 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare

• 140°F (60°C) for medium

4. Rest:
Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20–30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.
